Passage 2
Most people read short stories. Magazines, newspapers, and books, printed in millions of copies every month, regularly supply the demand for short fiction. In the United States today the short story is overwhelmingly the most popular of current literature.
Perhaps it is the modern manner of living that insistently demands that all current fiction be short. Automobiles, jet planes, telephones, and telegraphs all bow at the alter of speed. And literature shares its place in the favor of the crowd with amusements undreamed of a hundred years ago. The time for leisurely reading of ten volume novels appears to have passed with the horse and buggy and the pony express. The fiction readers demand a literary form that suits their moods and habits. Long introductions, leisurely discourses on philosophy, and detailed descriptive passages become the special joy of a particular kind of reader, whereas the crowd chooses the short story. Small wonder, then, that many writers have turned their talents to the short story.

P assage 3
Children have their own rules in playing games. They seldom need a referee(裁判) and rarely trouble to keep scores. They don’t care much about who wins or loses, and it doesn’t seem to worry them if the game is not finished. Yet, they like games that depend a lot on luck, so that their personal abilities cannot be directly compared. They also enjoy games that move in stages, in which each stage, the choosing of leaders, the picking-up of sides, or the determining of which side shall start, is almost a game in itself.
Grown-ups can hardly find children’s games exciting, and they often feel puzzled at why their kids play such simple games again and again. However, it is found that a child plays games for very important reasons. He can be a good player without having to think whether he is a popular person, and he can find himself being a useful partner to someone of whom he is ordinarily afraid. He becomes a leader when it comes to his turn. He can be confident, too, in particular games, that it is his place to give orders, to pretend to be dead, to throw a ball actually at someone, or to kiss someone he has caught.
It appears to us that when children play a game they imagine a situation under their control. Everyone knows the rules, and more importantly, everyone plays according to the rules. Those rules may be childish, but they make sure that every child has a chance to win.
66. What is true about children when they play games?
A. They can stop playing any time they like.
B. They can test their personal abilities.
C. They want to pick a better team.
D. They don’t need rules.
67. To become a leader in a game the child has to .
A. play well B. wait for his turn
C. be confident in himself D. be popular among his playmates
68. What do we know about grown-ups?
A. They are not interested in games.
B. They find children’s games too easy.
C. They don’t need a reason to play games.
D. They don’t understand children’s games.
69. Why does a child like playing games?
A. Because he can be someone other than himself.
B. Because he can become popular among friends.
C. Because he finds he is always lucky in games.
D. Because he likes the place where he plays a game.
70. The writer believes that .
A. children should make better rules for their games.
B. children should invite grown-ups to play with them.
C. children’s games can do them a lot of good
D. children play games without reasons
